Bear: An Evening with Novelist Julia Phillips

Julia Phillips’ bestselling first novel Disappearing Earth was named one of the year’s Ten Best Books in 2019 by the New York Times Book Review and was one of the finalists for the National Book Award. Her newest bestseller—the suspenseful, spellbinding Bear—tells the story of two impoverished young girls on an island off Washington State and their life-changing encounters with a mysterious, frightening bear. Ann Patchett (Bel Canto) calls Phillips’ book “thrilling and propulsive, glorious and terrifying” and The Boston Globe’s reviewer comments: “This mythical novel of obsession, moral reckoning, and aspiration glows with fairy tale magic.” Phillips will be interviewed by her editor, Hogarth Press VP David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl.
